Abstracts of the Inventories of the Prerogative Court of Maryland 1774-1777 (From volumes 119 through 126), V. L. Skinner, Jr., Family Line Publications, Westminster, Maryland 21157, 1988 p. 82 Henry Howard 125.292 SM L74.17.10 Aug 24 1775 Sep 16 1776 Appraisers: Bennet Hopewell, Robert Thompson. Creditors: John Mason for Cunningham Findley & Co., James Jorden for John Glass ford & Co. Next of Kin: Peter Howard, Margaret Nomes, Mary Wimsatt. Administratrix: Mary Howard. In Thomas Howard's will of Dec 24, 1773 his children are: Henry, Peter, Joshua, Ann Howard, Mary Norris (wife of John Baptist Norris) and Mary Henry (wife of Martin Henry). I've never seen the surname Nomes before. Should this read Norris? Would Mary Norris then be Mary Margaret Howard Norris? Who is Mary Wimsatt? Thank you for your help.
